Since the time I posted this, I contacted both vendors.  Fifth Generation 
says they have an upgrade for my DiskLock 1.0.1 to 2.0 for $30. (I did 
register when I got the original.)  H-P says they are aware of the problem 
with 1.0.1, and that their DeskWriter driver is compatible with 2.0.  
Currently, a new copy of DiskLock goes for a little over $100 from the 
resellers.

Does anyone know what the problem actually is, or how it was fixed?
